RE: Newsbud .... Controlled opposition?
truth can be managed through the censorship technique of noise. you must have seen the various special interest groups and intelligence agency's use the technique. with comments that can't be deleted you surround the comment with other easily disproven comments and inflammatory statements which renders the truthful comment lost through the noise surrounding the truthful comment.
i am correct in saying the blockchain is the ultimate tool for control...
...but has it ever stood the test of time?....I can't think of one offhand...
or the ultimate tool for decentralized , non control. There are always two sides to a coin..

censorship has been tremendously effective for you can't recall a single instance.. history is a lie yah know..
"...or the ultimate tool for decentralized , non control. There are always two sides to a coin.."
if you think the current monopoly is going to roll over and play nice then you are naive. the current power structure will decimate any currency they can't control.. who is going to stop them.. they don't have any serious opposition.
Except that there's nothing that they can possibly do to stop Steem or devalue it. They can huff and puff and at the end it's not going to go away and any lies will generate interest as much as any truth can and obviously even more.
You cannot regulate free association and free trade which ensues from freedom of association, and nobody can't compete in transaction times and fees, besides the fact it's a public forum and offers verification and validation on a consensus that makes censorship impossible and a community to keep it alive and well the world over, Steem is directly posited against censorship.
You will be hard pressed to voice one scenario that the government can use to stop Steem, and most any such decentralized blockchains which
You have far more faith in your fellow man than I do.
Seems my phone cut off the comment, don't think there was much more to it than that but the trust is in the iteration of the idea, and not people themselves, which is why you'd be hard pressed to voice one scenario of how Steem or any such decentralized and transparent networks can be subverted and have a modicum of a chance to succeed.
I don't think that, and never said so.
Long time since I was called naive! lol
